Hi all
I'm using a ST4000 on my sailboat and it works acceptable. However, I would love to be able to use the features of track following and wind vane control.
The ST4000 has an NMEA+ and NMEA- input to receive data to make the above features work.
Questions:
How do I hook up my Raspberry Pi (or ESP32) to the NMEA input on the Raymarine controller? Do I just use the tx and rx pins? And how do I make Openplotter recognize the pilot? Also, is it possible to use an ESP32 as I would avoid all the wirering..?
Kind Regards,
Peter
